Globalization

Everyday we hear about a developing theory called globalization. This theory affects the whole world in either a direct or an indirect way. Yet, many people can’t identify what’s the “globalization”. Basically, this system encourages the contact between different nations. It promotes favorable circumstances to   exchange various resources between countries.  

Eventually, like any other “theory”, the globalization owns advantages as well as disadvantages. Starting with the benefits of the globalization, we can observe that it helps linking the nations to each other. Not only through economic cooperation but also through trade, religious, philosophy, biological organisms as well as many other things. Obviously, this system increases economic cooperation, which leads to better connections between countries. This aspect helps promoting world safety and security by creating political relationships. Furthermore, using this system, developed countries can help those who are underdevelopment. On the other side, globalization has several disadvantages. To start with, globalization increases the spread of different diseases around the world in an insignificant time such as the Black Plague. Moreover, starting from the 1600’s, the system was no longer based on trading natural resources only but trading humans also. In fact, globalization provides slavery. In addition, it has transpired that the globalization is one of the most important factors of the environment degradation due to their illegal disposal of dangerous materials that could definitely terminate on the natural resources. At last but not least, economic measures become a pressure weapon in international disputes. In fact, it exerts social and ethical pressure on developing nations.

Accordingly, this topic represents a great contravention because of its two sides. Firstly, globalization helps linking countries as well as helps improving the under developed ones. That why there are many people who believe that globalization will create a “utopian world society”. On the other hand, nations who are involved in the exchanging processes are somehow forces to have the same social norms. As a result, there is a hug cultural integration. Eventually, many other people believe that globalization will “cause the obliteration of less-dominant cultures”. As for my point of view, globalization benefits many countries all around the world. Also, It promotes safety by creating political relations between nations. Additionally, it gives a hand for under-developed countries and helps their growth. However, it doesn’t give the developing countries the complete liberty to choose their own way of developing as well as there own culture. But, at the end of the day nothing is perfect. We have to accept some situations and integrate into them until finding another solution.
